Polk's db1001 tweeters make music shimmer and shine with high-frequency detail. Mount these liquid-cooled 1" silk/polymer dome tweeters in a good spot in your vehicle, and listen as they brighten up vocals, instrumentals, and percussion, bringing out musical nuances you would otherwise miss.

The in-line crossover allows only the appropriate frequencies to pass to the tweeters, while built-in protection circuitry guards against tweeter overload. You can flush- or surface-mount the tweeters with the included mounting cups.

Very smooth

Written By Scott A., California on Wednesday, January 14, 2015

These tweeters were replacements for the stock tweeters in the dash of my 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. I replaced my stock door speakers with Polk db 5.25 in the rear doors and Polk db 6.5's in the front doors. I tried th tweeters without and with the included "crossovers". They proved to be too harsh without them, so I installed the crossovers. There is a far smoother sound with them in. I very happy with the sound that is produced by the Polks. I am running a stock head unit and these speakers make the stock unit bearable. The only downsides is that I had to make my own mounting brackets to mount them in the stock postion.

Pros:Smooth highs, more detailed highs.

Cons:As others have mentioned, better instructions would have been helpful, had to make my own mounting brackets.

Polk db1001 Tweeters

Nicely packaged tweeters with crossover. Installed in the sail panels of a 2014 Tundra and ran them from a Soundstream amp. The kit comes with both surface and flush mounting, the only reason I did not give them 5 stars was the mounts. The speakers are supposed to snap into the plastic mounting bases, they were not secure and popped out a couple of times. I ended up putting a couple of daps of 5 minute epoxy and that solved the problem. They sound GREAT and I am very pleased, I ended up cutting the -3db gain wire to reduce the brightness. Would buy them again despite the mounting issue!

Pros:Excellent sound, well made driver, and crossover!

Cons:Mounts were a little disappointing, liked the flush and surface options.

Polk db 1001 tweeter

A+ speakers. Using stock Radio/CD player speakers sound great. You can hear the snare drum, hi-hat, ride cymbals crsip and clean. They can handle the power with out distorting. Installed a 1997 Chevy S10 Blazer. The Polk db 1001 tweeters are replacing the stock tweeters in the dash. Recently replaced the speakers in front doors and rear doors with Polk Audio db 651s. Unbelievable sound. Normally I would have tone control at full open now it is at about half open. Test song Rush: Test for Echo, Stealy Dan:Deacon Blues.

Polk tweeters expose'

Great after market high end, Really opens up the upper frequencies to info that usually gets mired in the mid and top end which rolls off at 12K on OEM hardware. You'd be surprised at how much detail is there for the listening experience. Subtle and very pleasing to the ears of a 60+ y/o previous audiophile.

Pros:Working in conjunction with two pairs of DB571's, the tweeters are seamless. Located in the door panel of a 2013 Ford F150, they are a definite benefit to critical listening.

Cons:As always, Polk's instructions could be improved. It would be advantageous to tell the customer that the Attenuation "chokes" only work in one direction, otherwise they don't work at all. I listened to both using them and removing them and from my standpoint, they are far more open and transparent without the - 3db.

polk tweets

these were actually awesome. I put in polk cones in my wrangler unlimited without these as I was told by installer they would not make much of a difference, but when I added them, it made a huge difference. very good.

Disappointed

These tweeters were recommended to me because I have a set of 4 full range Polk speakers in the doors of my 2009 Saturn Outlook. Those Polks made a major improvement in the mid-range and bass of my 2009 Outlook. Although these new Polk tweeters improve the factory sound significantly, they really aren't providing what I consider to be good sound quality. Voices are reproduced better, but the highs are attenuated significantly. Of course this problem could be caused by my brand new $1,400 Kenwood Head Unit, but that is unlikely, considering my equalizer, when adjusted, doesn't fix the problem. The tweeters do sound better with my new head unit, than with the factory head unit, which is what I used when the tweeters were first installed. I've always heard the saying that Polk makes great speakers because Polk only focuses on speakers. Unfortunately, I don't think it is clear that Polk knows much about tweeters. I am far happier with the JBL tweeters I installed in my other car.

Installation was a hassle for these, but that is true for all after-market tweeters. I only mark Polk down for sound quality.

These tweeters are really just average.

Pros:Mounting similar to other tweeters
Improvement on the factory tweeters
Improved voice reproduction

Great sound

Very good sound. Added a very clear treble element to my truck that was missing from the factory tweeters. Little tricky to install, but that's because there's no mounting bracket. Had to make one myself. Overall excellent buy and very pleased.

These sound great on my boat....

These tweeters were suggested by Crutchfield tech after I told him my Bose Marine speakers sounded good, but not great. I already had a 300 w power amp on the Bose, but after adding an Access tech woofer and these Polk tweeters, the sound improved 10-fold. I love them.

Pros:Small, easy to install, look good, GREAT sound. Really brings out the highs. It really helps that they are marine grade so they can get wet.

Worth every Penny!

Great Speakers! I actually was only going to replace the door speakers in my truck, but decided to get these too....Glad I did! Install manual is vague... So, to save you trouble...The Grey wire/Red Trace is Positive from the stereo to the crossover AND, from the crossover to the speaker. Took me a couple hours to install...But only because I wanted to use the stock brackets.....And I am extremely picky! After an hour+ ....Gave up on using the Nissan stock mounts....They Will NOT work... or more precisely, they would look bad! And who wants a bad looking install? Save yourself the trouble, pop the holes, insert the "cup" & be done with it. I am only powering the 2-Db651's & these Db1001's with my receiver " a "Pioneer DEH-P310UB" & it sounds great. The 1001's come with the Wiring if you were wondering. Went from the dash to the receiver with about 8" to spare. Crutchfield was Great as always!

Lousy instructions

The instruction manual ( polk ) is worthless for my db1001 tweeters. It doesn't explain how to mount or even more importantly, how to wire the speakers. They give you this strange little resistor packet or crossover, or whatever it is, with no explanation as to what it is, or what I'm supposed to do with it. The crutchfield manual tells me that I'm supposed to fashion a mounting bracket for these speakers. WHAT? And it doesn't even hint as to how I'm supposed to do that! I was able to mount the db651s speakers easily enough, but the supplied wiring harness is garbage, and I'll have to redo it. Can't give an actual review on the speakers until I can figure out how to mount and wire the stupid things.Not happy with POLK at all. Not sure about crutchfield yet.

[Editor's Note: Our Technical Department has emailed additional wiring and mounting information to you, and are available to further assist you.]

Polk db1001 1"

I installed these awesome tweeters in my 2006 Ford Ranger ex-cab, and they compliment my system very well and open up the soundscape to a new level. I replaced the head unit with a Pioneer DEH-P8300UB, which is awesome, and paired together I am able to hear more of the music than ever before. I can hear intricate guitar parts and vocal harmonies that were muddled before, and the quality of the sound makes you feel like your listening to a live performance! These tweeters actually have that quality, to take the listener into the center of the music and make you "feel like your part of it", when your listening to music in your car, or in my case, my truck. Polk provides mounting hardware for multiple applications which is great, everything you need is in the box which is also nicely packaged. The install was super easy because they went into existing locations and I was done in less than one hour. I reccomend this product to anyone who is looking to enhance their stereo system and "be part of the music"! So get yourself a couple of pairs and "get INTO your music". :^)

Present for my boyfriend

I bought these tweeters for my boyfriend's birthday a couple weeks ago. He has upgraded his stereo system in his '07 Dodge Ram with speakers, subs, an amp, and a pioneer flip-out stereo headunit. He said the only thing that was missing was a set of tweeters. He was so excited when he opened these up and had them installed right away. His truck sounds 10X better than before! The Polk tweeters balance the sound out perfectly and create that crisp smooth tone to any song. Amazing product for a great price and fast shipping! Highly recommend.

High end help

Installed these tweeters in the front door pillar of an F150 SuperCab, coupled with MM571's in the front door and db571's in the rear. Big difference in presence and staging. I listen to a lot of jazz and vocals and they really bring out the high end, even in an otherwise noisy truck. I was not dissappointed. Their actually a 4 1/2 rating. Now all I have to do is install a sub!

Excellent

At first I was a little concerned after installing these POLK AUDIO db1001's in my FJ Cruiser dash because these little tweeters were loud and overpowering my door woofers a bit.... But then I discovered that when I turned down my treble on my FJAMMER head unit (factory stereo that is very underated -- I actually love this Toyota FJammer and it has great power!! -- not a normal factory head as you might expect).... Once I turned my treble down on the FJammer, I now have the best blend ever of all my component speakers in my car (Co-Axial woofers in door 6x9), (Bazooka 3.5-inch rear pillars in back), and an (6.5-inch Bazooka Sub in back)...

Anyway, my car is really dialed in with fantastic, controlled, beautiful sound --- the frequencies are all covered nicely and blend well... These POLK AUDIO tweeters are a HUGE part of the overall clean sound and can handle it when I crank up the volume very loud... HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!..... very happy!!!!!

Sweet!!

Written By AB, Dayton, TX on Monday, February 22, 2010

I installed 2 sets in November of 07 on my 03 F-150 along with some 6X7 momos and they sound sweet! The highs are detailed and sound crisp. I have to recommend these to anyone looking to get a set or two, they are definitely worth it!

Polk db1001

I just replaced the dash-mounted 3 1/2s in my Grand Cherokee with these tweeters. They sound great - very crisp and clear, and much better than any 3 1/2s I've heard. It was a very worthwhile upgrade. I'm giving them a 4 because the installation was pretty bad. The instructions in the book didn't really match what was in the box. I expected better than that from Polk.

Polk db1001

replaced factory tweeters in my 2008 jeep w/o infinity system...not an easy job in new jeeps. be prepared to take out most of your dash. polk has 1 owners manual for all their speakers, though these tweeters were listed on the cover of the manual they werent mentioned anywhere in the manual. crutchfield doesnt supply wiring harness from 2008 wrangler factory harness(youll have to splice). the positive, they sound very good , very crisp highs, and were reasonably priced. just a pain to install in the factory mounted tweeters in a jeep. that being said, you install them once you listen to them daily so definitely worth it.

Good Metallic Tweets

Written By tower, Houston, TX on Friday, November 21, 2008

The first thing you'll notice about these tweeters is sheer weight. They use a larger magnet than most, which is a good indication that they can take alot more abuse than those little plastic tweeters. The crossover is not "adjustable" per say, its actually more like a big in-line bass-blocker than a crossover, but it makes for an easier install without a big box to hide.

They get pretty loud and are reliable, my only complaint would be that metallic tweeters are a little harsh on the ears (but some people like it that way).

Polk db1001

order kicker tweeter wasn't happy return them got this open the box. packed them back up and sent them back to cruthfield. i looked in the owner manual i thought crossover u got was adjustable. polk has one manual for all the speaker. crossover was a circuit board in a big piece of heat shrink, not even a plastic case. for this price thought u would at least get that.
